Subj: A Bigger Update
Whew, busy night last night! I hope I got this substantially right; please amend anything I didn’t quite catch, other folks who were there. 🙂

It started with the Gypsy Troupe’s Frontier Days presentation of fortune-telling. Disean showed up and said, in essence, “I have a fortune for you. Here’s your future — eternal damnation because you didn’t turn to Koar!” Then, Rovvigen and others among the group got visions of an old man telling Rovvigen and others to gather along the shores of Lake Eonak. When they got there, the mirror-like surface of the lake changed to reveal visions of Chaston arriving in Hendor, at the largest settlement there, a walled city — Lolle. He and his Blameless ordered the gates opened, and Hendoran soldiers lined the walls, but someone opened the gates.

The soldiers on the walls never turned. Possibly held there in thrall by Chaston’s spooky mind-control nonsense, they faced outward even as the Blameless filed into the city and fired on them with crossbows. We saw the Blameless converging on the keep in the center of the city. Doors opened and townspeople poured forth, but not to fight the Blameless; they fought the remaining Hendoran forces, and in the vision, we saw the torchlight glinting from their prayerbeads and symbols of Koar. They broke through and laid waste to the Earl’s audience chamber, and although Earl Jovery himself wasn’t killed, he was taken by the Blameless through some kind of portal, leaving Chaston Griffin on the seat of the Northern Sentinel.

Ambrus and Disean were both captured alive (Ambrus after getting a raise, heh) after trying to flee the area, having accomplished all they set out to do, according to Ambrus.

I know other people will have logs to post and more detailed information — I left out a lot of fabulous details — but wanted to give an at-a-glance rundown for anyone who missed it. I was there, and I apparently missed a good part of it because people set me straight on some facts I had scrambled. Thank you for clarifying!

The real question is were they thralled or not. Really the information there is lacking to zay 100%. After retrospecting on the events i got the impression hendor wasnt thralled….simply not expecting the attack at all. If they were thralled then to me they would have joined in the fight.

I wasn’t sure about that either! I keep forgetting that to much of the Turamzzyrian Empire, the Blameless are not instantly figures of fear and loathing (yet), and opening the gates to them might not seem out of line. On the other hand, Hendor in particular has to have some inkling about who and what Chaston and his Blameless are after what happened to the Hendorans who were the acting rulers of Talador. It was open to interpretation, certainly. If they were enthralled, that would be pretty scary; there were a lot of them, and that would imply he could control many unwilling targets at once.

Talador delenda est!

That’s a great summary, Lylia! Also, I love how Kenstrom tied the storyline into a Frontier Days event. Well done, all!

I’d add as well that Baron Spensor and his Bourthe retinue were also captured and held.

Ahem. Baron Caulfield is in protective custody. For his own safety.
